I'm annoyed because a dress I ordered 4 weeks ago from eShakti has still not been shipped. (In their defense, the confirmation email does say "Your order is estimated to be delivered in approximately 2-4 weeks," so they're not technically late.) I bought it mostly for our niece's wedding next weekend, but I wanted to wear it to the memorial, too. I have plenty of other dresses, though, so I have backup options.
Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

I ordered two dresses off of eShakti 7 weeks ago thinking they would be good for the memorial. The app still says "delivery before April 15" for the order but the items are still in "Fabric and kit creation" so I don't expect them any time soon. I did assume 2-4 weeks was optimistic but I thought 8 weeks might not be too much to hope for...

Yikes, I'm going to guess that if yours hasn't been delivered by 7 weeks, my 4-week-old order isn't even going to make it in time for our niece's wedding. Dang.

It still might! But it might not.

It's a shame, because it's an awesome dress: [link]

Ooh, very pretty! You'll have to find an occasion to wear it to when it eventually shows up, for sure.

I ordered a dress from them in February that is not here yet. I sent an inquiry and they were like "it's coming!" Yeah, right.
Is anyone coordinating who is staying where? I meant to try to put something together, but I've had crush of work and found out last week that the business agreed to an SLA on responding to contract drafts (that I said NO to), so I've got to get those off of my desk before I leave.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I can put something together, if folks can email me. ( e DOT juliana AT gmail).
Also, for getting around SF, I highly recommend using the Flywheel app instead of using any rideshare services. Flywheel is Uber for taxis, basically, but the taxi drivers are much more knowledgeable about the City & there's no surge pricing. If you're planning to use public transit, Clipper & MuniMobile are the apps for tracking & paying for the transit (Clipper works all around the Bay, so you can use it for BART (our light rail). MuniMobile is for in SF only).

If you have an iPhone, you can add a Clipper card directly to the built-in wallet app, without having to download a separate app, or purchasing a physical card.
